Damn that thing is sweet!!!

If anyone has any interest in this R-Model,Otherdog and I are pretty close to Roanoke and might be persuaded into a road trip for a closer look,pictures etc.........................Mark

I only see 1 gear stick, probably a 5 speed maxidyne.

[br549]

Bad eyes, now I see the other stick behind the steering wheel.

Nice wheelbase for a single axle & power steering to boot! Would make Vision 386 a real nice antique "project truck"! I also wonder jakebrake,if it is a duplex or triplex for that matter.Has the "dummy" shutters (small radiator) like it may be an R607T with turbo added later.Either way, its what some would call "very restorable"!

[Maddog13407]

looks like an R609 to me. exactly the same as mine with a 711 and a Duplex. probably an add on Mack turbo after the fact. nice fifth wheel to, looks like it came off a tandem Mack with the peeks for the trunion bar. and you can see the duplex shifting pattern on the dash. sweet.

10-4 on the 609,Matt.Ahh yes,I see the Duplex shift decal now! Is it a direct Duplex or an overdrive Duplex? Ha-ha,just kiddin'!! All in all,not too shabby!

That truck is cool! It needs a little renovation.

I thought the same thing Al !,but although it does appear to be all there,and relatively solid, $3500.00 seems a tad steep to me pricewise? I know its hard to find a good single axle R anywhere anymore,but for the amount of work needed,reloation etc.personally i'd throw out a MUCH lower number first LOL!.....................Mark

[Maddog13407]

looks like a direct in 5th duplex Al haha. I don't see the taddle tale writing on the bottom of the tag sayin DO NOT USE 5th in LOW!!!!

[countryboy5487]

I think I see jake heads.......

[Maddog13407]

yup I see the jake heads now... also has the skinny 237 exhaust manifold

[countryboy5487]

I like the long grover air horn. Looks like the one off convoy

[e9500v8]

Jake switch is to left of key and you can clearly see it has the jake spacers!!

[e9500v8]

Also it should be a 67 cuz it has marker lights next to headlights. 68 would have them on side of hood. Am I correct?

[Maddog13407]

if I only had more time, money and less projects, that thing would be on its way to New York State. its already my colors to. think id drive it around how it is, rat rod style

[countryboy5487]

With it having the pto winch jake and ps, put a small equipment trailer and have a great lil pair
